Abstract

Bereitstellung von Projekt- und/oder Projektierungsdaten eines Automatisierungsprojekts in einem durch eine standardisierte Meta-Sprache, insbesondere XML, definiertem Format.Provision of project and / or configuration data of an automation project in a format defined by a standardized meta-language, in particular XML.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung, ein Engineeringsystem und Verfahren zur Bereitstellung von Projekt- und/oder Projektierungsdaten eines Automatisierungsprojekts oder einer -komponente in einem durch eine standardisierte Meta-Sprache, insbesondere XML, definierten Format. Durch eine Konvertierung von Projekt- und/oder Projektierungsdaten mit proprietärem Format in Daten mit einem durch eine standardisierte Meta-Sprache, insbesondere XML, definierten Format und das Bereitstellen dieser Daten mit definiertem Format können externe Computerprogrammprodukte oder Tools, die auf Daten mit dem definiertem Format abbilden, diese Daten einlesen, analysieren, visualisieren und/oder bearbeiten, ohne dass die Projekt- und/oder Projektierungsdaten in ein für das jeweilige Computerprogrammprodukt oder Tool les- bzw. bearbeitbares Format umgewandelt werden müssten. Durch eine Konvertierung von Daten mit definiertem Format in solche mit proprietärem Format können durch externe Computerprogrammprodukte oder Tools erzeugte Daten dem Automatisierungsprojekt zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Dadurch kann die Erstellung und Abänderung von Steuerprogrammen erheblich erleichtert und beschleunigt werden.

The invention relates to a device, an engineering system and method for providing project and / or configuration data of an automation project or a component in a format defined by a standardized meta-language, in particular XML. By converting project and / or engineering data into a proprietary format into data with a format defined by a standard meta-language, in particular XML, and providing that data in a defined format, external computer program products or tools based on data of the defined format reproduce, analyze, visualize and / or edit these data without the project and / or configuration data having to be converted into a format that can be read or edited for the respective computer program product or tool. By converting data of a defined format into those of a proprietary format, data generated by external computer program products or tools can be made available to the automation project. This can greatly facilitate and speed up the creation and modification of control programs.
